FAQs
What is a plumbing camera inspection and how does it help with drain opening?
A plumbing camera inspection involves feeding a high-resolution, waterproof camera through your drain lines. The live video stream lets our technicians pinpoint the exact location and nature of blockages—roots, grease, collapsed pipe, or foreign objects—so we can choose the most effective drain-opening method (snaking, hydro-jetting, or spot repair) without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
How soon can you arrive for a camera inspection and drain opening service in Allardt?
We offer same-day service throughout Allardt and surrounding Fentress County. If you call before noon, a licensed technician can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours. Emergency after-hours or weekend appointments are also available for an additional fee.
Will a camera inspection damage my pipes or landscaping?
No. The camera is a flexible, low-profile unit that moves smoothly through the pipe with minimal friction. It doesn’t scratch or abrade the pipe walls, and because we access the system through existing cleanouts, we don’t need to dig up your yard or disturb your landscaping.
What types of clogs can your team clear after the inspection?
Once we’ve identified the blockage, we can clear grease buildup, tree root intrusions, soap scum, mineral scale, and foreign objects. For severe obstructions, we employ hydro-jetting, which blasts water at up to 4,000 PSI to scour the pipe interior and restore full flow.
How much does a camera inspection and drain opening typically cost in Allardt?
Prices vary with pipe length and severity of the clog, but most residential inspections start at $199. If drain opening is required, snaking typically adds $125-$175, while hydro-jetting ranges from $300-$450. We provide a firm, upfront quote after the camera assessment, so there are no surprise charges.
How often should I schedule a camera inspection to prevent future drain problems?
For newer homes, an inspection every 3-5 years is usually sufficient. Older homes, properties with mature trees, or households that have experienced recurring clogs should consider annual inspections. Routine checks help catch small issues—like early root growth or minor pipe misalignments—before they become costly emergencies.
